Care after hours

Did you know that Kern Family Health Care has an Advice Nurse Line? You can call and speak to an advice nurse to help you decide what to do when you or a family member is sick or hurt. Our advice nurses can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can answer health care questions when you can't reach your doctor. To speak with an advice nurse, call us at 661-632-1590 (Bakersfield) or 800-391-2000 (outside of Bakersfield).
